Deliver Powerful Presentations Even in the Most
Limited Spaces with an Ultra Short Throw Projector
Ultra-short Projection Distance
The VPL-SW535 and VPL-SX535 come equipped with an ultra-
short focal length lens, which makes it possible to project
images from a very short distance.
The VPL-SW535 and VPL-SX535 are ideal for education, training, corporate applications, and a range of other
commercial uses. Designed to add flexibility to classroom and business presentations, the VPL-SW535 and VPL-SX535
achieve large-screen projection from very short distances thanks to an ultra-powerful short throw lens. This solves
typical problems such as the presenter being distracted by, or blocking, the projected light.
These powerful projectors also deliver installation flexibility with an optical zoom and lens shift capability. This
greatly reduces the time and hassle of fine-tuning the image position without having to physically move the
projector or sacrifice image quality. In addition, these projectors ship with an original wall mounting from Sony
which allows adjustment of projector pitch, roll, and yaw.
The VPL-SW535 and VPL-SX535 are economically designed for optimum energy efficiency, thanks to their auto
power-saving function, picture muting function with lamp control technology, long-lasting lamp, and low power
consumption.
Packed with advanced projector technologies in a stylish design, the VPL-SW535 and VPL-SX535 are an
excellent choice, delivering a high brightness of 3,000 lumens* and high-quality images with XGA and WXGA
resolution, respectively.

Installation Advantages
The VPL-SW535 and VPL-SX535 are equipped with an optical zoom
and lens shift capability. Using this function, the position of the
projected image can be easily adjusted to the desired settings
during installation. This greatly reduces the time and hassle
of fine-tuning the image position without having to physically
move the projector or sacrifice image quality. In addition, these
projectors ship with an original wall mount from Sony which allows
adjustment of projector pitch, roll, and yaw.
“Blend-in” Design
The VPL-SW535 and VPL-SX535 showcase a new low-profile
chassis, so these projectors appear to blend into the ceiling or
wall on which they are mounted.
The values are approximate.
FEATURES
A short projection distance has two key benefits. Firstly, the
presenter will not be distracted by the projected image,
and it’s easier for the audience to see the projected image
because screen shadow is minimized.
Secondly, large projected images can be used in small
rooms, maximizing the useable space in small meeting areas,
because the projector can be placed very close to the screen.

Superb Picture Quality
Brilliant Color Performance
The VPL-SW535 and VPL-SX535 adopt a 3LCD projection
system incorporating three LCD panels. This system enables
each projector to present bright and natural images.
By combining an advanced generation of inorganic LCD
panels that utilize the Sony BrightEra™ technology with a
3LCD projection system, the VPL-SW535 and VPL-SX535 offer
high picture quality and brightness.
WXGA/XGA Resolution
The VPL-SX535 offers native XGA resolution for high picture
quality. XGA resolution of 1024 x 768 contains 60% more pixels
compared to SVGA resolution of 800 x 600. As a result, XGA
resolution delivers much greater detail and finer images.
The VPL-SW535 can present dynamic images in native
WXGA resolution on a widescreen. WXGA resolution allows
projection in a wider display range compared to SVGA and
XGA resolution. More information can be displayed on the
screen.
12-bit 3D Gamma Correction
The VPL-SW535 and VPL-SX535 incorporate 12-bit 3D gamma
correction circuitry to perform highly accurate gamma
correction, achieving smoother gradations and a richer gray
scale.
Film mode
Smooth, high-quality images are reproduced using a high-
performance processor for I/P conversion.
Source signals suitable I/P conversion are processed
automatically, and extremely accurate images are
reproduced.
HDMI Interface
The VPL-SW535 is equipped with a High-Definition Multimedia
Interface™ (HDMI), which is the latest standard for digitally
connecting to high-definition (HD) devices.

Picture Muting
The VPL-SW535 and VPL-SX535 can temporarily
mute projection. This function can be easily
operated with just the touch of a button on the
supplied Remote Commander unit. During the
picture muting, the lamp will automatically run
at reduced power for economical operation.

Cost-efficient, Energy-efficient Design
Long-lasting Lamp
By incorporating a high-performance lamp and advanced
lamp-control technology, the VPL-SW535 and VPL-SX535 deliver
an extremely long lamp replacement time up to 6,000 hours.*
* Based on lowest wattage setting. Values are approximate and may vary
due to environmental conditions and usage.
Lamp and Filter Synchronized Maintenance
The expected lamp maintenance time for each model can
reach up to 6,000 hours depending on the selected lamp
mode, and dust filters require the same maintenance interval.
Synchronizing the timing of lamp and filter maintenance
enables users to reduce the numbers of “ladder climbs” for
maintenance.
Low Power Consumption
The VPL-SW535 and VPL-SX535 offer remarkably low power
consumption which can help users save on their electricity
expenses.
Lamp Dimming Function
The VPL-SW535 and VPL-SX535 are equipped with a lamp
dimming function. After 10 seconds of a static signal being fed,
the lamp dims by approximate 15% which is hardly noticeable.
If one of these projectors is left powered on while not in
use, after a set period of time it will automatically detect
no change of signal input and will dim the lamp to as low
as approximately 30% of original brightness to help reduce
energy consumption.
